Vasculitis damage index in Behçet’s disease [PDF]

Advances in Rheumatology, 2021
Abstract Background Vasculitis damage index (VDI) is a validated damage index for systemic vasculitis, and as Behçet’s disease is considered one of systemic vascular disease we aimed to study the relationship of the vasculitis damage index to clinical manifestations and comorbidity in patients with Behçet’s disease (BD ...

Damage identification after seismic events through damage indexes

Procedia Structural Integrity, 2023
The seismic events that have affected the building heritage over the past years have highlighted the vulnerability and the huge direct and indirect losses associated with earthquakes. The research of methodologies able to evaluate the post-earthquake damage state is clearly decisive to allow a quick and safe estimation of the building state in the ...

Measurement of damage in systemic vasculitis: a comparison of the Vasculitis Damage Index with the Combined Damage Assessment Index [PDF]

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2011
To compare the Vasculitis Damage Index (VDI) with the Combined Damage Assessment Index (CDA) as measures of damage from vasculitis.A total of 283 patients with vasculitis from 11 European centres were evaluated in a cross-sectional study using the VDI and CDA.Wegener's granulomatosis (58.4%) and microscopic polyangiitis (11.0%) were the most common ...

Cell Damage Index as Computational Indicator for Blood Cell Activation and Damage. [PDF]

Artif Organs, 2018
AbstractShear‐induced hemolysis is a major concern in the design and optimization of blood‐contacting devices. Even with a small amount of mechanical stress, inflammatory reactions can be triggered in the cells. Blood damage is typically estimated using continuum fluid dynamics simulations.

Damage index for reinforced concrete columns [PDF]

Journal of the Croatian Association of Civil Engineers, 2020
Severe earthquake ground motions can cause various levels of damage to reinforced concrete structures. Among others, damage index (DI) is a reliable means to quantitatively measure the extent of damage that can be endured by a structure in such circumstances.

Development and Validation of a Post-Earthquake Safety Assessment System for High-Rise Buildings Using Acceleration Measurements

Mathematics, 2021
After a major seismic event, structural safety inspections by qualified experts are required prior to reoccupying a building and resuming operation. Such manual inspections are generally performed by teams of two or more experts and are time consuming ...

Principal component analysis and perturbation theory–based robust damage detection of multifunctional aircraft structure [PDF]

, 2013
A fundamental problem in structural damage detection is to define an efficient feature to calculate a damage index. Furthermore, due to perturbations from various sources, we also need to define a rigorous threshold whose overtaking indicates the ...

Response of Temperature-Related Rice Disaster to Different Warming Levels Under an RCP8.5 Emission Scenario in a Major Rice Production Region of China

Frontiers in Climate, 2022
Rice is the basic food for about 50% of the global population, and feeds two-thirds of the Chinese population. Under the influence of global change, extreme weather, and climate events increase in frequency, duration, and intensity, which affect food ...
